In the late 19th century, the so-called "German Method", which
employed spoken language in deaf education, triumphed all over the
Western world. At the same time as deaf German schoolchildren were
taught to articulate and read lips, an emancipation movement of
signing deaf adults emerged across the German Empire. This book
tells the story of how deaf people moved from being isolated
objects of administration or education, depending on welfare or
working in the fields, to becoming an urban middle class collective
with claims of self-determination. Main questions addressed in this
first comprehensive work on one of the world's oldest movements of
disabled people include how deaf organisations emerged, what they
fought for, and who was left behind.
